Does your device support eSIM?
A model name alone is not enough. The country of purchase, exact model and carrier lock affect eSIM availability.
Check before you buy
- Find your exact model and model number in Settings.
- Check for an “Add eSIM” option under Cellular, Mobile network or SIM manager. Menu names vary by device.
- Confirm that your device allows eSIMs from other carriers. On iPhone, check Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock.
- If your model or regional variant is unclear, confirm with the manufacturer or your carrier before purchasing.
An EID identifies eSIM hardware; its presence alone does not establish that the device is unlocked or that every plan will work.

Other Android devices and tablets
Models within the same Motorola, Xiaomi, Sony, Oppo, Honor or other product family may differ. Verify eSIM support and carrier restrictions in the manufacturer’s specifications for your exact model. Phone support does not imply tablet support.
